Vulvogenital pruritus is due to infectious, dystrophic or dermatological causes. Diagnoses of "senile" or "psychogenic" pruritus do not obviate the need for regular surveillance. Treatment is easy if the cause is duly recognised. It is more difficult in essential forms and the authors describe the principles and methods of symptomatic treatment.
外阴生殖器瘙痒是由感染、营养不良或皮肤病学原因引起的。诊断为“老年性”或“精神性”瘙痒并不能排除定期监测的必要性。如果病因得到恰当识别,治疗很容易。在原发性病例中治疗则较为困难,作者描述了对症治疗的原则和方法。
